Hello!
I'm Bernadette, but you can call me B.
I specialise in weddings & portraits. I'm based in the North West of England (Cheshire), but I travel all over the UK.
I cherish the beauty of marriage, the blessing of family, and the power of prayer in our lives. My passion is capturing the love and joy of your wedding day in timeless images that become a part of your family’s history. These photographs tell your story—a story that will be cherished for generations.
As a wife, daughter, sister and aunt, I understand the importance of preserving life’s most precious moments with loved ones. Whether it’s a wedding, family gathering, baptism, or another special event, these images serve as timeless keepsakes—transporting us back to those cherished moments for years to come.
My goal is to tell your story in a way that feels truly special. I believe in the lifelong journey of marriage, and I’m committed to serving your family—from our first conversation to long after your special day.

In the very unlikely event I can't attend, I'll arrange a trusted backup photographer of the same style and experience.
How do we book you?
Once you're happy, I'll send a contract and invoice. A booking fee secures your date and the rest is due closer to the wedding.
Can we meet before the wedding?
Of course! I offer video calls or in-person meetups (if local) to go over your plans and get to know each other.
Will you help us with posing?
Definitely! I'll guide you through relaxed poses so everything feels natural - not stiff or awkward.
Can we request specific shots or send a Pinterest board?

Yes, I offer handcrafted albums and print options you can order directly from your private online gallery.

What's your payment schedule?
A 50% booking fee secures your date. (This is taken from your total price). The remaining 50% balance is due 2 months before the wedding day.
What happens if we need to cancel our wedding?
If you cancel your wedding, the booking fee is non-refundable as it secures your date and covers admin and prep work. If you've already made additional payments, I'll walk you through what may be refundable based on how close we are to the wedding date.
